I'll save you some time.

They remade the game, but it's not available yet.

You can register for the beta IF you accept the NDA.

And you need an xbox live account.

I got stuck at "need an xbox live account".

Since you need Windows 10 to play the game. Open up the Xbox app on your PC, it'll ask you to create a username.

I used a microsoft account, never had an xbox live subscription/game and it worked.

I used a @hotmail.com email address, here is what it says:

    There is a problem with your login.  Please be sure you are using a Microsoft account with an XBox Live account associated and that you have authorized access to your profile information if prompted.

Maybe "@hotmail.com" is not considered a microsoft account ? What are you using (@outlook.com) ?

My old university email that was linked to microsoft when I signed up for visual studio i think? Not sure if this will still work, was a few years ago.

Same here. Resolved by: 1. logging in through https://account.xbox.com/ 2. click profile picture top right corner and click profile 3. Privacy settings 4. Privacy and Online Safety > Privacy 5. Allow all "Microsoft Can" options (possibly not all needed but don't know which ones required so..)

That worked for me, thank you !

I didn't change any settings though. Maybe I just needed to login on https://account.xbox.com/
